Professional Associations

If you are published, you might also be able to join a professional writing association, another great way to network and enjoy interesting discussions of your craft.

Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc.: Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America site provides information, practical advice, and news about reading, writing, and publishing SF/F.
Romance Writers of America: Romance Writers of America is dedicated to advancing the professional interests of career-focused romance writers through networking and advocacy.The association represents almost 10,000 members in 144 chapters offering local or special-interest networking and education.
Horror Writers Association: An organization to bring writers and others with a professional interest in horror together and to foster a greater appreciation of dark fiction in general.
Writer's Guild of America, West: The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) is a labor union composed of the thousands of writers who write the television shows, movies, news programs, documentaries, animation, CD-ROMs, and content for new-media technologies that keep audiences constantly entertained and informed.
Mystery Writers of America: MWA is the premier organization for mystery and crime writers.
Writers Guild of America, East: The Writers Guild of America, East, is a labor union representing professional writers in film, television and radio.

Another Path: Fanfiction

For unpublished writers still learning their craft, one of the best ways to get feedback on your writing is by writing fanfiction and publishing it on the web. The fanfiction community is large, enthusiastic and has established routes for seeking constructive criticism both before and after publishing on LiveJournal (the main fandom hub at present), Fanfiction.net, or one of many fandom-specific archives. Of these, the most useful are "betas," fellow fans who will proofread and critique your writing before it is posted online. Although the quality of beta readers, like everything else in the fanfiction community, varies widely, the best can be a priceless tool for improving your skills in both fanfiction and original fiction, and a great friend to boot.

My very favorite is writing.com. I received more reviews in the few months I've been a member than in the last two years! I also love book-in-a-week.com, which is a monthly challenge for writers. Members decide how many pages they want to write in one week, and post their results each day. There are forums, writing prompts, and a place to start your blog.

Hey, great to know there are resources out there for writers. I was using storymash.com but it kind of stinks. Half of the stuff you post doesn't even get read which defeats the purpose. I'll be trying some of your links out. Thanks!
